Definition
Injection into the fat layer beneath the skin, the route used for insulin, GLP-1 drugs and virtually every peptide. Slower and steadier than intravenous, and the reason most peptide products are sold as injectable vials or pens. LYO describes routes used in trials; it does not publish instructions for use.
